Abstract

Migration in Peru, despite being one of the most in the region, is perceived as a social problem. In this context, the objective of the study was to know the attitude towards foreign migrants among healthcare workers in Metropolitan Lima. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out, healthcare workers from various health facilities mainly from the North of Lima participated. A total of 1 03 healthcare workers with a mean age of 35.37 years $(SD=8.25$; Range: 22 to 60 years) of both sexes and various occupational groups participated. 44.7% $(n=46)$ expressed moderate disagreement regarding the need to make an effort to get immigrants to join our society as full citizens. 35.9% $(n=37)$ indicated moderate disagreement regarding migrants on labor issues. 35% $(n=36)$ indicate a moderate agreement regarding the exploitation of migrants at work. Regarding access to health and education, 44.7% $(n=46)$ indicated a moderate agreement. Finally, 49.5% $(n=51)$ of the respondents, expressed moderate agreement regarding the increase in crime as a result of the arrival of migrants. In conclusion, among Lima healthcare workers, there is a negative trend in attitudes towards Venezuelan migrants, but they agree with access to health and educational services. Dissemination work is necessary to reduce negative attitudes.

利马卫生保健工作者对外国移民到来的态度

秘鲁虽然是拉美地区移民最多的国家之一，但仍被视为一个社会问题。在这方面，研究的目的是了解利马大都会保健工作者对外国移民的态度。进行了一项横断面描述性研究，主要来自利马北部各卫生机构的卫生保健工作者参与了研究。共有103名医护人员，平均年龄35.37岁(SD=8.25美元;范围:22至60岁)，男女和不同的职业群体参与。44.7%的人(n=46)对需要努力让移民以正式公民的身份加入我们的社会表示适度的反对。35.9%的受访者(n=37)表示在劳工问题上对移民持温和分歧。35% $(n=36)$表示在工作中剥削移民的问题上达成了适度的协议。关于获得保健和教育的机会，44.7% $(n=46)$表示有中等程度的同意。最后，49.5% (n=51)的受访者对移民的到来导致犯罪增加表示中等程度的同意。最后，在利马保健工作者中，对委内瑞拉移民的态度有消极趋势，但他们同意获得保健和教育服务。为了减少负面态度，宣传工作是必要的。
